Chapter 436

She lifted her arms in the sky and the sun setting rays cascaded down on her features, lighting up her gorgeous and happy face as she breathed in the cooling air.

Before I knew what I was doing, my eyes never left her face, I was loosening my grip on the lap bar and lifting my arms as well, wanting to bask in her happiness and share in her joy. My heart swelled with something I couldn't quite name.

I didn't have a lot of time to think about it though because soon we were dropping. Judy screamed and I found myself screaming as well as we went down and around. The coaster did some loops at a pace so fast that if I were to blink, I would have missed it.

My stomach was surprisingly calm during the ride, only the fluttering of my heart could be felt I classified as nervous about trying something completely new.

Judy laughed as we went around and around and I found a smile tugging at my own lips, a spreading across mine.

By the time the coaster slowed, we were both breathless and chuckling.

Judy's face was flushed, and her hair was a complete mess.

The attendant unbuckled us and helped us out of the cat. I took Jud's hand and helped her out of the car. As we walked away from the coaster and towards a more secluded area so we could reflect on how incredible that was, I noticed Judy's disheveled appearance.

It made me smile.

We finally reached a couple of benches right around the area where they started to play live music. There were a ton of people gathering around, waiting and watching for the performance. Thankfully, we reached a bench area where we were able to sit down and rest for a few minutes.noveldrama

Judy's eyes were fixed on the band setting up their equipment when I brushed a strand of fallen hair out of her face and tried to fix the mess of hair on her head, my fingers lingering on her for a moment too long.

She turned to look at me, her expression softened slightly as she stared around my face.

"Are you having fun?" She asked me, assessing my every feature.

I nodded, for once in my life. I was actually telling the honest truth.

"I am," I admitted. "It's unexpected."

She beamed at my words.

"It certainly was," she said softly, touching my hand gently. "Thank you again."

As the sun set around us officially and the area, we were in lit up in festive lighting, she leaned into me

As the band played music, people started to dance with one another and the festival became even more intense. It was interesting to watch people lose themselves to the music.

Seeing Judy see slightly as she too watched the people, gave me an idea.

Without much warning, I took her hand and pulled her other feet. She gasped at the sudden motion as l pulled towards the dancing crowd and started to twirl her around. After she got her footing, she burst out laughing and started to dance as well. I felt a little ridiculous, I had to admit, but it was strange because at this moment.... I didn't care. swnovel

Having her this close to me, her body pressed against mine, her laughter filling my ears, her hips swaying and my hands passively on them... it was nice, and I didn't want it to end.

As the music started to slow, I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her even close to my body so she could feel every inch of my rock-hard abs and solid chest. I also wanted her to feel something else, which she knew without me having to tell her.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and rested her head on my chest, sighing contently. Something inside of me stirred at that moment and I found myself holding here tighter, almost possessively. She wasn't mine to possess, but still, my body wasn't thinking the same thing as my mind was. swnovel

"Gavin?"

My entire body froze at the sound of my name and the familiarity it brought me. Judy's body tense too, as if she could sense something not right. I looked up and my eyes narrowed.

"Mom..."
